It will be a likely be a great discussion in a few years as to what the Wii produced that wasn’t made by Nintendo that was truly worth your time. Because while the cliche with the last few Nintendo consoles has been “grab the Nintendo titles, don’t wade through the dreck around it”, there’s always [...]
World of GooContributed by Jeremy Stoltzfus.
I’ve been meaning to review World of Goo for a while now, but I’ve been taking my time since I was fairly certain none of the G-E staff were going to beat me to the punch. World of Goo is one of those well received games that nobody has seemed to play. [...]
While I’m not going to sit here and claim I’m an expert on this game, after a nice evening of drinking and playing it, I think it’s a game that’s underknown and deserves some appreciation. Imagine Mario Party mixed with a cutesy traditional Japanese RPG, and you’ll have a good idea of what this game [...]
Wii FitDue to my girlfriend’s determination and good luck on its first day of release, we have a copy of Wii Fit in the living room right now. As common sense as that sounds for someone to have the game in order to review it, finding this game has been near impossible since it was released. [...]
Super Smash Bros. BrawlThe definition for the word melee is, “a confused hand-to-hand fight or struggle among several people.” Furthermore, brawl is defined as, “a noisy quarrel, squabble, or fight.” Two separate words with similar meanings. Similarly, if you compare Super Smash Bros Melee with Super Smash Bros Brawl you are left with two separate [...]
Resident Evil: The Umbrella ChroniclesResident Evil has spawned many sequels all with differing levels of quality and entertainment. However, the series is losing its original luster: the scary and innovative. Each new game usually has nice graphics that make us all go “ooo pretty,” but the quality is lacking. The writing has ranged from spectacular to horrible, character development is hardly present, and the storyline is beyond ridiculous. However, in an attempt to revitalize the innovative (and suck another franchise dry of any money making potential it has), Capcom has released Resident Evil: the Umbrella Chronicles.
Super Mario GalaxySo finally it arrived, the one game (except maybe Smash Bros Brawl) that every Wii owner was waiting for: Super Mario Galaxy, the newest sequel in the Mario series. It has been said to be the game to finally beat Super Mario 64 for the 3D platformer throne, and a game that would be able [...]
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight PrincessMario may be Nintendo’s mascot, but Link just might be Nintendo’s current breadwinner. As much as people complained about certain decicions about the series, it’s the last of Nintendo’s main titles that hasn’t been whored out to partying, pinball, or any other unlikely match up. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was without a doubt [...]
WarioWare: Smooth MovesWarioWare: Smooth Moves is the fifth in the minigame-packed WarioWare series. So far each release has offered something new to the table. Not only does Smooth Moves offer something new, it offers lots from the older games as well. Smooth Moves shows off the versatility of the Wii remote by incorporating minigames from each of [...]
Excite TruckOne cannot see the word “Excite” preceding a type of vehicle without recalling the splendor of the original Excitebike. Excitebike consisted of little more than ramps and other obstacles and a rough racing setup, but it was fun. Lots of fun. Excitebike 64 sounded like a good idea, but it ended up being little more [...]
